Diabetes Mellitus/ Diabetes
  1. DIABETIC FOOT ULCER:
    1. ATI: Aply lotion to the dry areas of my feet, avoiding between the toes"
    2. Peripheral Neuropathy: Prevent Injuries: Monitor temperature of water with a thermometer.
      1. ATI: INSULIN: GLARGINE & REGULAR: "Draw up the insulin glargine and the regular insulin into two separate syringes."
        1. Short acting insulin first NPH is safe to mix with short acting."
          1. INSULIN
            1. ATI TEACHING: Must be taken subcutaneously because oral form will be destroyed by digestive enzymes.
          2. ATI: Mild Tremor, Slight diaphoresis & fully oriented
            1. Nursing Action Priority:
              1. Assess the client's blood glucose level.
                1. Rational: Most likely hypoglycemia. Blood glucose must be checked to confirm the problem and document HIGH/LOW BS to determine the best TX.
            2. NCLEX MADE EASY: S/S
              1. Polydipsia, Polyphargia, Polyuria, Weight loss
                1. INTERVENTIONS
                  1. monitor acid-base & fluid balance
                    1. S/S OF Hyopglycemnia
                      1. Vagueness, slow cerebration, dizziness, weaknesss,pallor, tachycardia, diaphoresis, seizures, coma)
                        1. S/S KETOACIDOSIS (acetone breath, dehydration, weak or rapid pulse,Kussmaul's respirations)
                          1. HYPERosmolar coma (Polyuria, thirst, neurologic abnormalities, stupor)
                            1. Be prepared to treat hypoclycemnia, immediately give carbohydrates in the form of fruit juice, hard candy & honey): if UNCONSCIOUS, maintain safety until administered I.V.
              2. Type 2 diabetes
                1. ATI: Rosiglitazone (Advandia) What should nurse monitor for?
                  1. "Swollen Ankles"
                    1. Rational: Rosiglitazone can lead to fluid retention, exacerbation of heart failure, and an increased incidence of angina & myofarction.
                2. PROPER FOOT CARE
                  1. Wear clean socks daily, Fited for shoes late in the day when feet are swollen require a larger shoe, Should not be barefoot at anytime, Keep feet dry & moisture free (contraindicated: soaking feet)
